State of Enrollment – National Landscape

UW out-performing national trends• Nat’l data points

to a 4% decline

State of Enrollment in Wyoming

• SEM Plan #s did not account for extraction decline

• 2021 points to enrollment recovery

UW’s Response – Nationally

Need for sophisticated marketing• Yield Modeling• Retargeting• Focused travel and recruitment analytics

UW’s Response – In Wyoming

• In-state agency on record• Statewide campaign• Improved clarity in Cost of Attendance

and Financial Aid packages• High-tech, high-touch recruitment

Strategic Goal #2: Inspiring Students

• Articulation: focused effort in development of 2+2 MOUs across WY

• Onboarding: new student service initiatives to ease student’s transition from Community College to UW (Peer Mentor Program, Transfer FYS, Registration Days, Transfer Orientation, etc.)

Establish Dual-enrollment, program articulation and other transfer processes with the state’s community colleges.

2+2 MOUs: Assess, Correct, Redirect

Benefits ChallengesBlueprint for (some) transfer students. Serve narrow slice (13%) of all WY transfer

students. Serve students who mimic traditional students rather than more complex students. 87% of WY transfer students are not served by 2+2s.

Agreements encourage degree completion at both WYCC and UW.

Labor intensive and quickly out of date: of the 189 current MOUs, 86% of them are less than 2 years

old and already out of curricular alignment.

Student-focused delivery of services

Articulation Toolbox • Curate 2+2 efforts in

high enrollment areas: Student volume and areas of public good

• Expand articulation products: TPGs, provide informed coursework and pathways

Address student needs• Expand products and

services: Adult learners, swirlers (multiple-transfer institutions), stop-outs, Reverse Transfer, etc.

Partner with WYCCs to serve our students• Broaden product and

service delivery to include all Wyoming students

• Assess utilization of transfer products to improve service delivery

Takeaways

• We are in a strong and optimistic position for future growth

• Fall 2019 projections remain positive• Expanding services to enhance recruitment

for Wyoming and out-of-state students
